Greetings,
I'm getting a new machine with a huge hard disk and need advice how
much space to allocate to a separate physical partition for FreeBSD 2.0.
One place I read that one needs between 60MB and 700MB for the system.
This seems a huge range. Can you send some info about installation
options and how much disk space they require? I do not need to keep
sources on the hard disk, of course, but I will want TeX, emacs, and the
compilers, as well as all the comm stuff, i.e., ftp, mail, and so on.
If you have a FAQ, please send that too.
Thanks! --Mike
